A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
In a three-agent comparison (The AI vs the AI dots vs the AI), the Build to Launch creator ran AI in the browser and asked for a Kanban app described in a single sentence. The app rendered and worked: cards could be added and edited.
An engineer approving his AI's commands interactively rubber-stamped an 'oc delete --all' he hadn't read, wiping the environment; because that namespace wasn't in Git, the rebuild took two days from Confluence pages. Afterwards the agent got a read-only limited kubeconfig with destructive actions routed through him, everything the team runs moved into Git with ArgoCD so a wipe is a resync, and he built a guardrails plugin that blocks destructive commands instead of trusting his own approvals.
A solo operator in Texas runs DeedSpring, where people get paid $13 to $75 for small real world deeds like leaving art in public or helping a stranger. His agent Vesper runs the desk: recruiting, acknowledgments, checking photo evidence against the posted rules, and payouts through escrow. Six deeds have been paid so far across five countries, and every receipt sits on a public ledger.
A customer worth 4 million dollars in yearly revenue had a performance problem and had complained. He gave the AI the problem in one prompt, and the customer is happy now.
A university worker used AI to build a web version of a transcription program that used to need a special Windows machine reached by remote desktop. The new tool pairs a speech model with speaker detection on the university's own systems. Twenty minutes of interview audio now transcribes in 40 seconds with the speaker changes right, and students and staff can use it from a browser.
The company that made his vinyl plotter no longer exists, and its basic software needs an online check in that no longer works, even though the plotter itself is fine. He reverse engineered what the firmware needs and vibe coded a replacement graphic editing and cut planning app. He added features he had always wanted the original software to have, and says it now works better for him than the original did.
Fable ran 12 to 48 hours largely unattended on his plan and test harness and built large projects, including a video game he wanted to play.
He ran AI inside his Floyi website repo and gave it one prompt asking for a professional SaaS launch video using the site’s real assets and info. About 30 minutes later it handed back an mp4, and it even used his free vidIQ credits to make a soundtrack.
The AI goes through his sent emails to learn which sorts he typically responds to, pings him when it thinks he left something unanswered he'd want to answer, and repeats the exercise monthly to stay current.
He exported all his bookkeeping to text and let the AI take care of it. Thirty minutes later it was in better shape than ever.
Every idea is a real post from someone who tried it, summarized in our words, with a link to the original. App names are swapped for plain words.
